So yesterday this was not working. I had created a new list using the Work progress tracker template and did not change any of the settings anywhere. Just used it as is, and there was no Edit in Grid View option. Today, I created a new list using the same template, and it's there now. If I go back and look at the list from yesterday, it's still missing, so it seems MS did change something with their templates.
List Created Yesterday
New List from Today
